His practice focuses on tech M&A and technology transactions, including acquisitions, minority investments, joint ventures and cutting-edge technology projects (blockchain/DLT, digital platforms, AI). He has advised start-ups and investors on fundraises and M&A for over a decade in Asia, Europe and the US. He is qualified in Hong Kong, New York, England & Wales and Ireland.
How can lawyers genuinely add value to early-stage tech companies? This session will focus on practical issues in international venture capital practice, aiming to provide an understanding of what the key drivers and priorities of start-ups and investors are – both during and between funding rounds – and how lawyers can provide impactful legal support to start-up clients, from preparing and negotiating investments to managing legal risks and using legal tools to capture the value of the company’s technology.
CPD credits are available upon application and subject to accreditation by the Law Society of Hong Kong (currently pending).
